Answer:

B) A stack of books is carried at waist level across a room

Explanation:

Work is defined as:

W=Fd cos \theta

where

F is the force applied

d is the displacement of the object

\theta is the angle between the direction of the force and of the displacement

From the formula, we see that the work done is zero when the force and the displacement are perpendicular to each other. Let's now analyze each situation:

A) A bookcase is slid across carpeting. --> work is done, because the force that pushes the bookcase is in the same direction of the displacement

B) A stack of books is carried at waist level across a room. --> no work is done, because the force to carry the book is vertical, while the displacement of the books is horizontal

C) A chair is lifted vertically with respect to the floor. --> work is done, because the force that lifts the chair is vertical, and the displacement is vertical as well

D) A table is dropped onto the ground. --> work is done, because the force of gravity (that makes the table falling down) is vertical and the displacement of the table is also vertical.

Why is earth the only planet on which water exists in a liquid state
Gennadij [26K]
This is due to earths location in the solar system. Earth is in the habitat zone or the Goldie locks zone, in this zone it's not too hot or not too cold for water to exist. Other planets in different star systems have liquid oceans due to them being in the habitat zone.

A motorcycle traveling at 25 m/s accelerates at a rate of 6 m/s2 for 4 seconds. What is the final speed of the motorcycle in m/s
givi [52]

Initial velocity = Vo= 25 m/s

Final velocity = V = x

Acceleration= a = 6 m/s^2

time= t = 4 seconds

Appy the equation:

V = Vo + at

Replacing:

V = 25 + 6(4) = 25 + 24 = 49 m/s
